First Details on Indie Horror Comedy ‘The Cannibal Chicken Eaters’
Shooting later this month is a new indie horror comedy entitled The Cannibal Chicken Eaters, which will be directed by Matt Cooke and Vince Lund. In the film a young couple try to patch up their rocky relationship inconveniently complicated by a world gone mad with chicken cannibalism. You can read a long synopsis below and watch for more once production begins.
“A Feature Length from Com Zombie Movie Cannibal mayhem is about to hit the streets: social meltdown, martial law, anarchy. GUY and EMMA are sitting in fast food joint, Uncle Tommy Rodgers Chicken Hut. Emma tucks into her burger and wings; she likes chicken. Guy watches in disgust. He hates chicken. Their relationship has definite problems.
Meanwhile, out of a pure and unadulterated lust for profits, the Broiler Chicken Factory manageress, KIM, and Chicken Development Scientist, GORMAN, are about to infect the chicken-eating populace with a new chicken product containing added ingredients that carry a few side effects; like madness, hysteria and rabid cannibal aggression…
Guy and Emma are running for their lives. They’re rescued by lorry driver, BULLY, and hole-up in the Broiler Chicken Factory with Kim and Gorman and the poor, unfortunate factory worker, KEITH. The factory is a hell overrun with cannibals. Worse still, Emma and Guy are having relationship problems. Gorman meanwhile, has found his way back to his product source. He begins a hideous metamorphosis.
Can Guy and Emma escape the chicken factory? What are they escaping to? Has the world gone mad? Was it ever sane? Will Guy and Emma survive long enough to patch things up? Does anyone care? What’s that over there? Where? Over there, next to the Jesus painting…Who can possible say anything about anything? Only one thing is certain…YOU’LL NEVER EAT CHICKEN AGAIN!“
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
